Shopware to Shopify Plus migration for European brands
Leaving Shopware 5 or tired of Shopware 6 maintenance? We move your catalogue, sales channels and languages to Shopify Plus with zero downtime.
Why move from Shopware to Shopify Plus?
Shopware is popular across Europe, but Shopware 5 has reached its end of life and the move to Shopware 6 is effectively a full rebuild. Many brands facing that cost choose to replatform to Shopify Plus instead.
Our Shopware to Shopify Plus migration moves variants, properties, sales channels, customer groups and multilingual content, sets up Shopify Markets for each country, and redirects every URL per language so your search visibility across Europe is protected.
- Shopware 5 end of life and costly Shopware 6 rebuilds
- Plugin compatibility issues between versions
- Hosting and infrastructure to manage
- Wanting a larger app and partner ecosystem
